Apple was forced to disable this feature by an authoritarian government.
The same can be said about encrypted iOS backups, and maybe we’ll see forced CSAM scanning return.
Why is anyone expecting a corporation to be an activist and not obey the laws of the countries they operate in?
- mensetmanusman 4y agoThe image of Apple employees turning the metaphorical noose tighter around the Chinese is interesting to entertain as it says something about the human condition.

- snoot 4y agoThey didn’t push an update to prevent people from talking about ‘burning alive’ during zero covid. That’s insane fantasy, utterly disconnected from reality. However, they were compelled by the CCP to disable P2P file sharing between iOS devices, to limit the spread of dissident messages. That’s certainly oppressive, but note that the oppressor is the Chinese government.
